Emblems to Justice Points Conversion Update

Another short news post, folks. Some week ago Blizzard published the planned conversion rates for the current Wrath emblem currencies to the new Cataclysm points. The post listed Emblems of Triumph and Emblems of Frost as being worth 2.75 Justice Points each. This number has been updated, as well as the 2g per Emblem if you are above the cap. The original blog has been updated to reflect those changes, and Bashiok's post on the official forums has been included below:

We’ve revised the Justice Points conversion rate for Emblems of Triumph and Emblems of Frost. When the upcoming 4.0.1 patch goes live, these emblems will be converted into 11.58 Justice Points (up from the previously planned 2.75 Justice Points per emblem). Justice Points accrued above the soft cap of 4,000 will be converted to gold at a rate of 47.5 silver per point (down from 2 gold per point) when patch 4.0.3 goes live.

How many Justice Points will a heroic boss kill reward you in 4.01? Will it be one badge worth?

so... to geht it right..

at the launch of 4.0.1 patch all emblem will be converted into gold or justice points right? but the points are capped at 4000 for the start?so to get capped right from the start i need (frost+triumph 2gether) 345 Emblems (more mean +gold?)? Is that correct?

So i assume i'm right, the patch goes live and i have my 4k points. so when cata comes out and i start leveling and going rnd dungeons i'll earn additional points or will i still be capped @4k?

No, you'll go over the cap. Copy a toon on the PTR and you can see how many points you'll start with depending on how many emblems you have.

yeah i missunderstood something i think i'm clearer now..

So.. When 4.0.1 hits live all emblems are converted

i will have a maxium of 4.000 points to spend at once, this is the softcap.. but when i have enough marks for letz say 6.000 points the 2.000 points are not lost (for now) but are put into some kind of backup pool and as soon as i drop below the 4k it will refill them right up. is that correct so far? In short: u can have more than 4k but i can only spend 4k at once.

When 4.0.3 i guess it was hits life this pool is getting converted into gold and i only have the 4k BUT the hardcap is introduced so i will collect points regullary just like the emblems before?

Well, yes, though you made it a bit more complicated than it is. If you have more than 4000 JP through the conversion, you will still have those Justice Points, and it will display them as such. No backup pool or anything. The game will just temporarily allow you to be past the cap. For example, if you have 565 or so emblems the day before the patch, you'll have about 6500 JP on patch day. You can spend these points as normal, however, you will not be able to earn any more JP until you spend enough to be below 4000 JP.

At a later date, anything past 4000 JP will be converted to gold.

No, you'll have access to all your points; you just won't get any new ones till you go under the cap....I think, you'll need someone on the PTR to confirm or deny. By the time 4.0.3 rolls around, you'll probably have used up those extra points.

No frost and triumph will be treated exactly the same.

you can go over the cap with the pre cata release patch (4.0.1) when they are converted, but once the patch come out that will coincide with the release of cata (4.0.3) you will have any points over the cap converted to cash.
